Business account vetting
Hello, My business account was already fully vetted and suddenly it went again to "Non-compliant". I've opened a support ticket a month ago (#2602260040002250) but so far I only got generic "we are looking into it" replies. This is now severely impacting my business because I can't publish my product on the Microsoft Store, which means I'm actively losing revenue. Can someone please look into it and tell me at least what the status is and a rough timeline for the solution? If no solution can be found any time soon, I'll have to move away from the Microsoft Store and find other means of distribution. Thank you and kind regards, Martin
Microsoft runs on trust - renewal blocked – order fails before payment (error 715-123160)
Hi, My context is the following, I have a US based LLC because my work is centered around Dynamics 365F&O and my customers are not in Colombia, but in the US. I am an ISV and have a marketplace offer in AppSource. I am an SMB. I can survive thanks to my consulting income. I'm trying to sell my ISVs as an MS partner but I haven't been able to land a deal yet. But I run my business from Colombia. But I have US Banks, US Customers, US Invoices, etc. This is a completely legal and compliant setup. I made the mistake when I enrolled as a Microsoft Partner of giving my US details instead of my Colombian details. I thought it made perfect sense, I had no idea I would be flagged for this. I have had problems with my partner center ever since, I can't get approved as a Developer. When I try to renew my Partner Success Core Benefits I get this: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/legal/compliance/integrityIf you require further information please https://partner.microsoft.com/partner/support with reference number: XXX-XXXXX and transaction ID: XXXX. I opened up a support ticket, because my renewal is up. And at the very end of a week of back and forth I get this: Microsoft runs on trust, and therefore we engage in a rigorous set of evaluation and certification processes across third party individuals and organizations. As a result of our internal processes, we are unable to proceed with your request. Please note that this decision cannot be changed by opening a new support case. Thank you for your understanding What can I do? I know other people are facing the same issue.
URGENT: Blocked from Partner Center Enrollment ("Runs on trust") - Support portals inaccessible
Hello Microsoft Partner Community Team, I am urgently seeking assistance with an automated enrollment block. We are trying to register our business, Connect In Cloud Ltd (UK Companies House: 09550508), for the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program, but we have triggered the "Microsoft runs on trust" security block. I am completely unable to raise a standard support ticket because my Partner Center dashboard shows no active workspaces, meaning the support form will not allow me to submit a request. Furthermore, the standard business phone support lines drop the call after instructing me to use the broken portal. I need a moderator to please escalate this directly to the Vetting and Enrollment team so I can provide my business documentation, verify my identity, and have this block cleared. Here are my exact error details from the blocked screen: Error: Microsoft runs on trust... your request was blocked. Reference Number: 715-123160 Transaction ID: 4b89b272-50fe-4f37-8f5f-15f539cbaed0 Correlation ID: f13ebdd3-5d9d-4b45-a31d-0049e3489a11 Thank you in advance for your help in getting an internal support ticket opened for us

Issue Accepting Microsoft Partner Agreement
Hello, having an issue accepting the cloud partner agreement while enrolling in Partner Center. I am currently applying for our company's driver signing permissions on Microsoft. While filling out information on the following webpage: https://partner.microsoft.com/en-us/dashboard/account/exp/enrollnow/partner, I encountered an issue. When the webpage pulled our company name from Dun & Bradstreet, Microsoft deemed our company name invalid. I noticed that there is a comma in the name, as shown in the screenshot. However, when we applied for a signature from DigiCert, we used the same company name with the comma as the signing name. Therefore, I cannot remove the comma at this point because if I do, Microsoft might reject the signed certification file later due to a mismatch in the company name. Could you help resolve this issue?

CSP Account Verified & Authorized yet Indirect Reseller Status: SUSPENDED
Hello Partner Community Please assist any way you can... JillArmourMicrosoft is this in your wheelhouse? We are an CSP partner that is struggling to have our indirect reseller account suspension lifted even though our partner account is now fully verified and authorised. Our account was originally suspended due to a business registration vs shop location mismatch that was not resolved within a 30 day termination notification time limit. We corrected the address problem AFTER the account was suspended and although our account is now verified and authorised, the Indirect Reseller account suspension has not been automatically lifted and we are unable to contact a human representative to have it manually moved back to the Active state. We have submitted several Partner Support tickets but they do not provide actual support at all and automated responses from these tickets return a disclaimer stating the following with no further correspondence and the ticket automatically closed. Hello, Thank you for contacting Microsoft Partner support about the notice of suspension and termination proceedings. In the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program Agreement, both Microsoft and our partners reserve the right to walk away from the partner relationship by providing 30 days' notice to the other. Neither party is required to offer an explanation for the decision to terminate the partner agreement. As Microsoft is exercising its rights under this section 4.b of the Microsoft AI Cloud Program Agreement, we are unable to share an explanation or further details. Kind Regards, *Random Name* (He/Him) Support Engineer Partner Support Delivery - Program Customer Support My Working Hours: M-F 11:30 AM to 08:30 PM AEDT This lack of support is excruciatingly frustrating and terribly aggravating given that we are now subject to an indefinite period of considerable income loss with no recourse. Note that along with the suspension, emails have been sent to our customers notifying them that we are no longer qualified to act as their licensing provider which has been distressing for both our sales team and the customers. Our distributor is doing the best they can to help but they are unable to provide any real assistance and from what I hear, are unable to get any sensible advice from their Microsoft reps. Upon speaking with several other indirect resellers and distributors alike, it is my understanding that many partners are suffering the same or similar denial of service and I question whether this practice is even legal under Australian law regardless of any contractual fine print and disclaimers after the fact. This denial of support is a huge failure of Microsoft's policy makers and extremely poor business practice in general. If Microsoft wish to declare utter contempt for the small businesses that have supported them for several decades then those businesses might consider alternative platforms for their customers going forward. To conclude, I welcome any support or feedback from the community to help resolve this particular problem and help others with the same issue. Kind Regards, One very Frustrated Reseller.
Unable to Register - "Legal Entity Already Exists" Error - Cannot Access Support
Hello, I'm trying to register for the Microsoft Partner Network to obtain an MPN ID for Azure app publisher verification, but I'm stuck in a catch-22 situation. The Problem: When registering through Partner Center, I receive this error: "A legal entity matching the request payload already exists when creating the legal entity" The Catch-22: I cannot create a support ticket because: - Partner Center help form requires selecting a workspace - I cannot create/access a workspace without completing registration - I cannot complete registration due to the duplicate entity error What I've Tried: - Searching for existing accounts within my organization - no one knows of any - Attempting to create a support ticket - blocked by the workspace requirement - Looking for alternative support channels - all redirect back to Partner Center What I Need: Either help locating an existing account for my company, obtaining the existing MPN ID, or resolving the duplicate registration issue. Has anyone successfully resolved this? Is there a direct contact at Microsoft Partner Support who can help? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.Legal-entities and sub-units in Microsoft Partner Center terms
Hi, I represent several partners with Microsoft, and we are fast growing. In our enterprise, we do as several others, we move around locations, merge them, and restructure to improve efficiency and quality. Recently Microsoft also notified us to update and improve several of our MPN/CSP identifiers with updated information, which resulted in this post about missing features and hidden Microsoft data not available in Partner Center. Starting out as a partner, you add your company in Partner Center, creating your PGA and first PLA account. Your PGA now refers to your legal entity, and your PLA is now a sub-unit under your PGA. So far so good (for a CSP business, you have your PGA be the MPN id and your PLA the CSP id). As time goes by, your business grows and you start buying other MS partner companies. In comes account merge in partner center to the rescue. This will merge your MPN (not CSP, I know, atleast not in terms of your GDAP or customer relationships, but everything else), so that all your competencies, reports and information is updated accordingly. The company you have bought and merged now still has their CSP business, but reporting under your PGA. Both their original PGA and PLA accounts are now PLA under you PGA. So far this seems to be good, but now you are missing out on some data hidden internally in Microsoft, that is nowhere to be seen, and impossible to update: this original merged PGA still refers to the original legal-entity, and the PLA is still NOT connected to your PGA, but the original PGA, which is now a PLA under your PGA. So, something like, Your PGA --> The merged PGA (which is now a PLA) --> The merged PLA. Confused yet? Now, this merged company should at some point in time become something else, maybe a department or separate location of your company. Or maybe you even move that as a department or location below some other company you have in your enterprise portfolio. Now comes the headache of updating your CSP - PLA identifiers with correct legal information. There is currently nowhere you can read what PLA id-s are considered as legal entities, and nowhere your PLA says which legal entity they are connected to. Even filing this with MS partner support is a no-go, this information is hidden so far behind support/MCAIPP/CSP/direct/indirect/vetting/engineering/developers and god knows what, that it is currently not possible to update any of it. Not even getting to read the structure of the identifiers is possible. I hope Microsoft can understand this is a big compliance issue over time. How many tax forms or payout accounts do you need? How many are using the same legal info for the same tax forms? Regardless of being a direct or indirect partner, who should really receive the bill? Who ends up as the owner of the different agreements? (I know this usually works out one way or another, but how many hours could have been saved on partner support if this was not a headache?) We need to be able to see where each identifier is connected in terms of sub-units and legal-entities. Whether by self-service or MS partner support, we need to be able to provide updates on this structure. We need to be able to change any PLA between being a legal entity or a sub-unit, and telling which legal-entity owns the sub-unit or parent legal-entity. Different partners have different setups, we have an enterprise setup where one company fully owns all the others and plan to fully merge them within a single legal entity, but still owned by the enterprise. Others have separate companies working together sharing Microsoft competencies and benefits under one umbrella. Having a way to let Microsoft know about structural changes and having this information visible and correct in partner center is crucial when working as a partner over time. Bonus tip: Most countries, even Norway has officially available records on all companies registered, on official website or by official APIs - by looking up any company registration id, you can have the 100% accurate information for all legal entities, and all sub-units, we even give you the company registration id inside partner center for your benefit.Unable to update the primary contact email address during verification process
Registered my corporation on Microsoft Partner Center (MPC) about 2 weeks ago as the owner. Uploaded the incorporation document at that time. Then, it asked to upload the domain receipt to demonstrate the corporation owns the domain. Did that immediately. Now, the vetting status is still "Rejected". Also, when I check the "Legal Info" panel, my role is just "Developer" now, and there is no more "Owner" role for my account. Maybe because of this, I cannot see notification or expand "Contact info" for my corporation on MPC. I opened a support ticket and got an email saying the primary contact should not be general email like "email address removed for privacy reasons" and need to update it. But with the "Developer" role, I cannot even expand "Contact info" panel and won't be able to update it by myself now. This experience made me very frustrated with MPC. So I replied the support email, and who knows if they will actually reply or care.
